At 8 km from Palma di Montechiaro in Capreria soars the Castle of Montechiaro. Built in 1353, it is unique because it is the only Chiaramonte castle in Sicily built outside the walls of the village.

The castle stands in a dominant and strategic position, on top of a rocky ridge near the sea to defend the territory. From Chiaramente, it passed amongst several owners, and, in the seventeenth century, the castle was passed to the family of Tomasi.

It was recently restored and returned to the community. Inside the chapel of the castle, there is a statue of the Madonna that is thought to be the work of Antonello Gagini.
